Summary
This practical book is part of the new Artech House Methods in Bioengineering series - volumes designed to offer detailed guidance on authoritative methods for addressing specific bioengineering challenges. This volume is focused on the materials involved with nanoscale bioengineering. Nanomaterials are quickly moving into the mainstream as a critical component of biological research. Filling a critical gap in the current literature, this new resource presents practical, step-by-step methods to help professionals synthesize, characterize, functionalize and apply the nanomaterial that is most suitable for handling a given nanoscale bioengineering problem. Written and presented by the best scientists and engineers in their respective fields, the authors offer a clear and detailed understanding of how to carry out a wide range of important methods in this area.
